Fields and Branches of Math
| Name | Description | Examples |
| Arithmetic | adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing | 7x8 |
| Algebra | analyzing structure and relationships | Ax+B= C |
| Geometry | Study of shapes and measurements. | |
| Trigonometry | study of triangles, particularly right triangles, often analyzed through use of sin(e), cos(ine), tan(gent). | |
| Calculus | study of limits, derivatives (change), integrals (sums) (i.e. if we can describe the position of an object with an equation, its derivative would be the objects velocity (speed in a specific direction), and the derivative of its velocity is its acceleration. | |
| Differential Equations | helps analyze relationship between continuously changing values. | as an object falls it accelerates due to gravity, but air resistance will reduce its acceleration . . . the air resistance will change as the velocity changes |
